Bumrah's Effectiveness Hampered by Lack of Bowling Support, Says Trott

Former England batter Jonathan Trott analyzed Jasprit Bumrah's performance in the fourth Test against England, noting that while Bumrah bowled well, he lacked support from the other end.

Trott commented that Bumrah's economy rate was good, indicating accurate bowling, but he was simply unlucky not to take more wickets. He emphasized the importance of pressure from both ends of the pitch, something Bumrah didn't receive in this match. This lack of support allowed England's batters to score freely and negated Bumrah's effectiveness.

Trott suggested that Bumrah would have benefited from bowling in tandem with a spinner to create more pressure. He noted that with runs leaking from the other end, England's batters didn't face the usual intensity Bumrah is known for. This analysis highlights the importance of a balanced bowling attack in Test cricket, especially against a strong batting side like England.

India's bowling combination has been a topic of discussion throughout the series, and Trott's comments underscore the need for a more effective strategy. The team management will need to address this issue if they hope to compete in the remaining matches.
